I like this j.j.smith fella. He seems to have his head on straight.

"Gays hate being gay." You can't make this shit up!

What if each classroom came with an illegal immigrant that lead each class in the saying of the Pledge Of Allegiance?

Comedy started to go bad in the late 90's in the whole industry, and I don't think it ever recovered. You just have alot of medicore comedians and writers out there, IMO. On the flip side, TV Drama's have never been better since the rise of Cable TV as we are in a golden age, IMO.
If you want to relive Growing Pains ,Who's The Bosss and Family Ties you can just watch any of the crappy Nickelodeon/Disney preteen demo sitcoms.

Follow the logic ... he knows lots of gays, he knows they hate being gay ... I'm thinking he is part of the "they."

I wonder what JJ thought of Bossom Buddies?

I sure hope this j.j.smith person has gotten some really outdated Nyquil and this isn't how they normally are.

Oh, man, an effeminate black guy and an illegal alien living together in sin? No way the OP would go for that.

To be fair, nothing about the Big Bang Theory is funny.

CBS's fault, or the popularity of their bukkake at least.

Sometimes speaking the truth hurts and bothers people, that's the problem with America, a lot of people feel the same way I do, but they are afraid to speak there opinion. All because of money and power!!

So are you speaking truth or opinion? It can't be both.

Let me give you a hint: Opinion.

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop when OP reveals his "great" idea for a sitcom.

You know what would be great? A sitcom where Jason Bateman plays a gay man who gets a straight roommate!
